The proposed toll gates at the Virginia/North Carolina border sounds like literal highway robbery. More than that, it's beginning to feel more and more like a police state mugging of its citizens.

The new proposed highway toll tax may thin traffic out but more than likely, it will cause a bottleneck and all kinds of annoying humbug instead. Will the benefits outweigh the unintended consequences?

If we suffer this Toll tax to come about, it will be our fault if prices go up on everything and the merchants close to the border suffer a loss of business due to the diminished traffic.
